Feeding goats at the Interfaith Food Teaching Farm
The
Fellows Program has been in full swing this school year. We held a fellows
orientation the first week of August for our 11 new sophomore fellows. We
were lucky to have Hargrave McElroy and Ellan Maynard come to speak to the
fellows about Elizabeth and her role as a mother, advocate, and educator.
We also, as a group, volunteered at the Interfaith Food Teaching Farm.
In August we also held a
mentor training for 17 new mentors who were assigned to the new cohort of
fellows as well as some junior and senior fellows. These mentors mostly
consist of college students and young professionals working in the area.
Since the beginning of
the school year, the fellows have been meeting with their mentors and
participating in weekly meetings. The senior fellows are busy
completing their college applications. We have visited East Carolina
University and UNC Greensboro so far this fall, and plan to visit North
Carolina A&T in November. We have also participated in two other
service activities-- one at NC State benefiting Breast Cancer Research, and one
at the 2015 Fall Harvest Festival. Finally, we have started a couple new
programs for fellows and Wade Edwards Learning Lab (WELL) members. The WELL Running Club helps train
runners and walkers to complete a 5K in November. The WELL Writing Lab
helps students organize, construct, and edit their school papers and college
essays.
